IPL PHOTOS: Bangalore thrash Mumbai for second straight win

Outstanding bowling from Yuzvendra Chahal and Mitchell Starc helped Royal Challengers Bangalore outclass Mumbai Indians for their second straight victory in the Indian Premier League, in Dubai, on Saturday.

Mumbai lose early wickets

Veteran Michael Hussey made just 16 before he was caught at square leg off Albie Morkel. Pacer Varun Aaron dismissed Aditya Tare for 17, who top edged the pull shot and was caught by Nic Maddinson in the deep as Mumbai slipped to 52 for two in the seventh over.

Mumbai finish on a paltry 115-9

The tailenders also struggled to make an impact as Mumbai finished on a lowly 115 for nine in their 20 overs with Lasith Malinga run out in the final over courtesy of a direct hit from Yuvraj Singh at point.

Zaheer's double strike gives Mumbai hope

Malinga bowled Nic Maddinson with a superb yorker for 12 before Kohli and Yuvraj fell without opening their accounts to veteran Zaheer as Bangalore were reduced to 17 for three in the fourth over, having lost three wickets in the space of six deliveries.
